Ah I feel like that when I drink
Not for booze, weed, or drugs. I occasionally still really want a cigarette. I can cook using alcohol these days and the smell doesnât trigger cravings at all. I just know that itâs not for me to consume and I wouldnât consider trying it.
Edit: Should add that Iâm 23 years sober. By year 5 the cravings were gone except when I smelled booze. By year 10 the smell no longer gave me cravings.

I used to binge drink too and use morhine to sleep when I was not drunk.
I was in AA for a little over a year. I was a real mess. I visited them a year ago and found they were still my friends. AA friends. They helped me to think sober. Alcohoism is a disease of the mind. If you find your higher power and completely trust it to show you the way you can do it. It helps you manage the cravings.
I was lying on the floor in fetus position coming clean. Thought I was dying. But I was reborn. I still have faith in my higher power. It is not god. Itâs my grand fatherâs spirit helping me. He came to me when I was waiting for death on the floor.
